First of all, make sure you have xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.5.8.0-1.
(BTW, everybody else who encountered stability issues with the radeon
driver, please test this! It has all of Ben's critical fixes) If the
problem occurs with that, try not enabling the DRI and see if it still
happens.

Might be due to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=363120 .

Weird, the changelog for 1:7.0.18 looks innocuous. Can you isolate a
single package that causes this?
